ISSAQUAH, Oct 4, 2011 – In light of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Shops at Swedish/Issaquah are hosting a unique, complimentary event for women on Tuesday, Oct. 25 from 6-9 p.m. in the first-floor atrium of the new medical center, which is located at 751 N.E. Blakely Dr. in the Issaquah Highlands neighborhood.

Get the individualized attention you deserve, and allow us to find the bra that fits you best. Each woman who has a fitting receives a 10-percent discount off all lingerie in the Perfect Fit boutique during the event (excluding durable medical equipment).

In addition, women can meet the staff and learn more about Swedish’s mammography and women’s breast-imaging services. From screening and diagnostic mammograms, to the latest in breast-cancer treatments, Swedish/Issaquah offers the full spectrum in breast care under one roof.

During the entire month of October – and at this upcoming Perfect Fit event – women are encouraged to bring in gently used hats, scarves, wigs, post-surgical bras, camisoles and prosthesis to donate them to American Cancer Society. Items may be conveniently dropped off at Swedish/Issaquah’s Perfect Fit Boutique.

Swedish/Issaquah, which opened in July 2011, is the first new hospital built in King County in 25 years. Located in the Issaquah Highlands, it features a medical office building, emergency department, cancer center, primary-care clinic, full-service medical imaging department and other outpatient services. On Nov. 1, 2011, the medical center’s inpatient services – including a childbirth center, ICU, medical/surgical floor, and rehabilitation unit – will open along with the acute-care facility’s first 80 beds. Ultimately, the campus will likely house 175 beds, which is what it is licensed for by the Washington State Department of Health. For more information, visit www.swedishissaquah.org.
